+Subject: [PATCH] treewide: rework linker symbol declarations in sections
+ header
+
+1. Convert all linker symbols to char[] type so that we can get the
+   corresponding address by calling array name 'var' or its address
+   '&var'. In this way, we can avoid some potential issues[1].
+2. Remove unused symbol '_TEXT_BASE'. It has been abandoned and has
+   not been referenced by any source code.
+3. Move '__data_end' to the arch x86's own sections header as it's
+   only used by x86 arch.
+4. Remove some duplicate declared linker symbols. Now we use the
+   standard header file to declare them.
+
+[1] This patch fixes the boot failure on MIPS target. Error log:
+SPL: Image overlaps SPL
+
+Fixes: 1b8a1be1a1f1 ("spl: spl_legacy: Fix spl_end address")
